GET CLEAN™

Safe for you, your home, and your planet™

 

Get Clean™ products use biodegradable cleaning agents, which means they break down easily instead of hanging out in the ground for hundreds of years. They also have no phosphates, borates, nitrates, or other stuff the planet doesn't appreciate. And by making them superconcentrated, we leave you to add water so we can subtract waste. This has tons of implications. Literally. Less weight to ship. Less product to use. Less packaging to throw away. So you can get that clean feeling about your house, knowing you're keeping the planet clean, too.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

When you buy the Get Clean Starter Kit instead of the stuff you probably buy:

• You keep 108 pounds of packaging waste out of landfills
• You eliminate 248 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions

GET CLEAN PRODUCTS OFFER CLEANING CHOICES THAT ARE GREEN, AND HERE'S WHY:

• Sustainably sourced natural ingredients 
• Biodegradable surfactants
• Recyclable packaging
• Recyclable wipes
• Recyclable dryer sheets 
• No chlorine bleach
• No volatile organic cleaning compounds
• No phosphates
• No nitrates
• No borates
• No animal testing

How Green Drinks Started!

How it all started

 

In 1989, at a pub called the Slug and Lettuce in Northern London, Edwin Datschefski was sitting with his green design colleagues Yorick Benjamin and Paul Scott when he noticed an enviro-minded acquaintance at a nearby table. As it turned out, the friend was sitting with a few of his own eco-conscious mates, so they pulled some tables together. And so a movement was born.

 

The concept evolved into Green Drinks and now it's global. In 2001, Datschefski created an official Web site, and it has since spread across the world. See www.greendrinks.org for the latest city count and a list of countries. Each city has an organiser who arranges meetings in bars and restaurants, relays information via email, and facilitates discussions.

The spirit of Green Drinks is that anyone can come, and this makes for interesting interactions.
There are lots of benefits to green drinks; they are hard to quantify, but when you have seen people come and make new links and learn and argue and set up new schemes and get new jobs etc, it is a good feeling.

 

If you have any questions about Lake Gevena Green Drinks please contacts us at Simpleegreen@hotmail.com.
Or just post a comment and we will get back to you!

Green Drinks Lake Geneva

Plug into our local green networking group.

Green Drinks is now meeting in 800 cities worldwide.

Do you support or want to make a difference for endangered species, affordable housing, human rights, global warming, protecting forests, children's  welfare, or saving the planet?

Do you support or want to make a difference for endangered species, affordable housing, human rights, global warming, protecting forests, children's welfare, saving the environment, corporate responsibility, women's rights, and green living?

Do you have interest in learning, teaching, networking or debating ecology, alternative energy, zero carbon emissions, recycling, composting, green business or organic foods?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then this is the place for you. Join us. 

We are stronger together as a network. Austrian physicist Fritjof Capra, author of The Hidden Connections said; “Life from its beginning more than three billion years ago did not take over the planet by combat, but by networking.” Let's take action, communicate, learn, teach, debate, work together and give examples of how to turn sustainable ideas into actual practice.

What is sustainable? It is anything that is good for seven future generations and does not do harm to the present generation.

Network and share your skills, ideas, and even inventions in order to help people, animals, and the environment.

Whatever we focus our energy, time and money on grows. If you want a better future world, focus on that with your time, energy and money, in a positive way. There is a way through the challenges that humankind has created up to this point. 

Any problem is just a huge opportunity in disguise. Share, debate or forward your viewpoints, opinions, and experiences here directly or via your email.

We want to hear what you have to say. We are much stronger together than apart and alone.

Volunteer to be a co-organizer or promoter of this local group. By working together and implementing and/or offering green or sustainable solutions, everyone wins.

You as an individual wins, your family wins, your children win, your great grandchildren win, your local community wins and in the end all of humanity wins. Share what you know... let everyone hear the wonderful news; that green solutions exist and work!

Finally, remember that

"We have not inherited the Earth from our fathers. We are borrowing it from our children."
